NON-DESTRUCTIVE
EVALUATION ENGINEERING
A combined average grade of C or higher is required in courses applied to
the minor and the minor must include at least 9 credits that are not used
to meet any other department, college, or university requirement.
Minor supervised by an interdisciplinary faculty committee, administered
by Aerospace Engineering. The NDE minor is a unique opportunity
for engineering students to acquire a multidisciplinary engineering
qualification in the rapidly evolving field of Nondestructive Evaluation.
Undergraduate Study
Students interested in completing the NDE engineering minor must be
enrolled in the College of Engineering at Iowa State University. They
must submit the “Request for Minor” form and complete the minimum
prescribed 16 credit-hours of course work defined below. Acceptance
is based on approval by the administering department, Aerospace
Engineering.
The course requirements for the undergraduate minor in NDE are:
MAT E/E M 362
Principles of Nondestructive Testing
